<\/h2>\n

Micropulse Laser, a new technology in terms of laser treatments applied to the retinal\nlayer, has been developed to minimize tissue damage. The working principle of this new\nlaser application is to apply laser with very short pulses. In this way, it is aimed to cool the\ntissue in short intervals. Less tissue damage is provided by these short intervals, which\nallows the tissue to cool down. While energy reaches the tissue uninterruptedly during a\nlaser pulse in traditional lasers, energy is sent in packets in micropulse or subliminal\nlasers.<\/span><\/p>\n

CONVENTIONAL THERMAL LASERS AND THEIR EFFECTS<\/span><\/h2>\n

Conventional thermal lasers have been used safely and effectively in vascular diseases of\nthe retina. Among the main retinal diseases in which laser treatment is applied:<\/span><\/p>\n

- Diabetic retinopathy (retinal bleeding and obstruction due to diabetes)<\/span><\/p>\n

- Hypertensive retinopathy<\/span><\/p>\n

- Retinal vascular occlusion<\/span><\/p>\n

- Retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM)<\/span><\/p>\n

- Central serous retinopathy<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Besides the beneficial effects of conventional thermal lasers, some side effects arise due\nto the enlargement or deepening of burns caused by heat (Figure 2).\nAmong them:<\/span><\/p>\n

Visual field defects (Figure 3)<\/span><\/p>\n

Decreased color vision<\/span><\/p>\n

Decreased contrast sensitivity (sharpness)<\/span><\/p>\n

Formation of new vessels in the deep layers (choroidal neovascularization- CNV) and\nrelated bleeding<\/span><\/p>\n

Wound healing (epiretinal fibrosis) can lead to wrinkles on the retinal surface and be a\ncause of crooked vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Retinal fluid accumulation due to excessive laser application (serous retinal detachment)<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to these side effects and the fact that patients may feel pain due to the increase in\ntemperature during application, subthreshold lasers have been developed with shorter\nlaser pulses and that can act without burning the applied tissue. Subliminal or micropulse\nlasers are other names of subthreshold lasers<\/span><\/p>\n

WORKING PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATION AREAS OF MICROPULSE-SUBLIMINAL\nLASERS<\/span><\/h2>\n

These new technology lasers are lasers with very short pulses and allow the tissue to cool\ndown in between the pulses. These lasers can also be called \u201cpulsed\u201d lasers. Energy\nreaches the tissue uninterruptedly during a laser pulse in conventional lasers, whereas\nenergy is sent in packets (including on and off times) in micropulse or subliminal lasers\n(Figure 4). This allows the support cells called retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) just below\nthis layer to be stimulated without causing an increase in temperature in the very sensitive\nretinal tissue (Figure 5). As a result of this stimulation, some special substances are\nsecreted at the cellular level and leakage, bleeding, and etc. in the diseased area will heal.\nThis effect is called \"biostimulation\" (Figure 6).<\/span><\/p>\n

ADVANTAGES OF MICROPULSE-SUBLIMINAL LASERS<\/span><\/h2>\n

Can be applied without leaving any traces on the retina unlike conventional lasers. Cold\nlasers do not damage the retina.<\/span><\/p>\n

Re-application is possible to the same area over and over again: Micropulse-subliminal\nlasers can be safely applied to the same area over and over again, as they do not leave\nany visible damage to the retinal tissue. This increases the effectiveness of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Effective in all kinds of vascular retinal diseases: It is applied effectively and reliably in\nmany vascular diseases of the retina such as diabetes, retinal vascular occlusion, retinal\nlayer separation (SSR), retinal aneurysms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can be combined with intraocular injections: Cold lasers together with intraocular\ninjections can be applied in the treatment of many retinal diseases, which increases the\neffectiveness of the treatment and enables us to obtain better visual results.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
